That is the holster. The barrel would be thinner to get that kind of holster shape, not like GW actually cares about "realism". If anything it reinforces what I think is supposed to be a six shooter bolt pistol.
Why would a Revolver have a Ammo Belt, and no visible cylinder?
If you look right above where the ammo belt is, there seems to be a cylinder.
Maybe it is alien design and not manufactured by Colt.

Or at least Cypher and the Fallen formation getting into print format - GW have already shown they're quite eager to move away from the digital only dataslate approach with IA and how they incorporated some of formations into the 7th ed. version of Crimson Slaughter.
Now only a CSM player.

Yeah, Im not seeing it looking like a cylinder, looks to me more like the extra metal plate like the Chaos Plasma Pistol has.
Look again.
You have the ammo feed and ejection port, then right above that is what looks like it might be the cylinder for a 'revolver'.
Silly as it might sound, I'm sticking with it being related to Cypher. He makes an appearance in "Fall of Cadia", and I would not be surprised to see him getting Special Issue Ammunition.
No I see what you are talking about, it just (as someone who owns revolvers) looks nothing like a revolver cylinder to me.
A new Cypher would be great.
Now that you have established you own firearms (I own 2 revolvers) you should be well aware that GW doesn't design functioning firearms. So sticking a cylinder on a bolter would be GW for revolver, doesn't have to look like a real life revolver.

That's the chap.
So looks part 1 of 4 -- unless the other boxes are a different size of course.
Gonna assume one set will be Eldar --:
the Farseer/whomever with the Gyrinx mini
The figure in the odd mix of eldar armour -- who I think is Yriel -- IIRC he is something of a "half blood" having both craftworld & dark eldar parents.
and a 3rd figure ..? A full darkeldar mini would make sense -- 1 craftworlder, 1 dark eldar 1 who "walks the path of both worlds" or what have you.
is the plastic eldrad available yet ? be him if not -- he's mentioned in the new book.
..or , of course, just some cool art to stick on the box.
But one wonders if the assembled image could then be seen as a countdown to 8th edition ?
Or something.
So, I have not seen anyone make the connection yet. In sixth edition they had this same clock, and the hand was resting two boxes back. Now it is ahead by two. 6xth edition +2 = 8th Edition confirmed....Half life 3 confirmed.....ILLUMINATI!
Just a word of warning folks, there's some stuff from other codexes that's inadvertently ended up where it shouldn't be, like AM stuff on the end of the Blood Angels document etc. GW are aware and fixing it.

So this new FAQ specifies that all psykers and brotherhood of psykers auto know the malefic chart. AFTER the Magnus FAQ (which isn't in the official group on that link). Does this replace the ruling? Cuz the most recent FAQ grants it back. Near as I can tell...this FAQ lets pinkies know the spell again.
Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

Yes, but some of their nonsense designs still make a smattering of sense. And a cylnder on a Boltgun could be neat, but combined with the belt it doest work for me, if it was an Autocannon then it would work. Anyway im just saying it doesnt look to me like its function is a cylinder.

You should probably ask detailed FAQ questions like that in the FAQ specific thread or YMDC instead of potentially derailing the general GW news and White Dwarf thread.

Its hard to be awesome, when your playing with little plastic men. Welcome to Fantasy 40k
If you think your important, in the great scheme of things. Do the water test.
Put your hands in a bucket of warm water,
then pull them out fast. The size of the hole shows how important you are.
I think we should roll some dice, to see if we should roll some dice, To decide if all this dice rolling is good for the game.

I have a theory that 8th ed will down size the game or make it at least a lot more scaleable than it currently is, hence the release of genestealer cults and deathwatch as independent factions despite them both being small on a galactic scale.
If my theory is true (I'm basing at on nothing but the release of smaller factions.) then codex fallen or codex non chaotic traitor marines would be an awesome thing to add in to the game.
You do realize there's already a 22 page thread on the subject?

I think this one doesn't have much time left...
In all honesty, activity has switched to the other thread for the most part, seeing it's the more up-to-date one and a specifc thread on the matter at hand... so this thread indeed has very little use for the time being.

If it means that the game goes back to infantry with some vehicle support like in 4th, as opposed to super weapons everywhere, I'm down with that.

I can't see that happening. They still want to sell those large kits

It could give them an excuse to bring Apocalypse back as a separate style of game. I for one would love to see superheavies and flyers removed from the main game.
As for the new Eldar models, I think the designs are pretty cool, but the poses feel a bit static to me.

I'm not sure wether this has been mentioned or not but:
Daemons of tzeentch are getting a start collecting, it will consist of: a chariot, 3 flamers, 3 screamers, ten horrors and an herald. This comes from an image caption my LGS-owner has sent to our Whatsapp group, so I guess it's a solid reliability.
LoC will cost the same as bloodthirster kit. Blue horros will be 25 euros per ten models. The rest we know.
